Tennessee vs. Missouri Prediction
Tennessee is currently sitting second in the SEC standings with a game back behind Alabama. Tennessee is 5-3 on the road this season, yet find themselves in a good spot tonight in Columbia. In SEC play, Tennessee has a record of 9-3 and they will get their 10th win tonight. This Missouri team has been atrocious in conference play this year, sitting dead last in the SEC with a record of 0-12. How are they supposed to compete with the fifth-best team in the nation tonight? I have no idea either.
Tennessee is led by senior guard Dalton Knecht. If you do not know his name, you better learn it soon as Knecht is an issue for opposing teams. The future lottery pick is averaging 20.1 PPG, 4.7 RPG, and 2 APG all while shooting 48% from the floor. The transfer from Northern Colorado has been a key addition to this Volunteer team, and he could be the addition this team needed to make a deep run in March. Expect him to drop 25+ tonight. Keep your eyes on number 3.
KEYS TO THE GAME FOR TENNESSEE:
- Get out to a hot start
- Let Dalton Knecht shine tonight
- Force Missouri to turn the ball over
- Dominate the rebounding battle
If Tennessee can do these five things, they should have no problem running this weak Missouri team out of their own gym tonight. Missouri is on a 12-game losing streak, and I think that Tennessee pours salt into their wounds tonight and takes it to them. Watch how well Knecht takes control of this game from start to finish, he will have a monster game tonight against this weak Missouri defense. Do not be surprised if Tennessee wins this game by 18+ on the road!
Take Tennessee -11 tonight! Let's cash!
